00:00CBS's How I Met Your Mother spinoff casts its female lead.

00:03What's up, everyone? It's Brian.

00:06How I Met Your Dad finally got its new lead, and it's, drumroll please,

00:11Frances Haastar Greta Gerwig.

00:13She'll play a character named Sally, who is basically the Ted Mosby of the new series.

00:18Except Sally is very different from Ted.

00:21She's described as someone who doesn't want to grow up and has no idea where she's going in life.

00:25We'll meet her at a time when her relationship status is very complicated,

00:30because she's just broken up with her husband of less than a year.

00:33Can we take it slow? I just got out of a long relationship,

00:36and I don't want to go from just having sex to just having sex to just having sex.

00:40So does Greta Gerwig's name ring a bell for you TV fans?

00:43Well, she's definitely a big deal in the indie film world,

00:46starring in films like 2010's Greenberg and 2012's Frances Ha, which she also co-wrote.

00:51Just because you bought dinner doesn't mean I'm going to sleep with you.

00:54I'm not trying to sleep with you.

00:56No, I was pretending to be a liberated woman.

00:58Oh, I got it.

01:00And you might remember her as the snarky friend in the bigger budget flick,

01:03No Strings Attached, with Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman.

01:05Hey, champ.

01:06Hey, what happened last night?

01:08You made my body hurt so much.

01:11According to our friends at Deadline,

01:13CBS hopes to find the type of success with Gerwig as Fox did with another indie film star,

01:19Zooey Deschanel, who made the successful leap from movies to TV with New Girl back in 2011.

01:25Next up for How I Met Your Dad, casting Sally's group of friends who apparently are super supportive,

01:31but don't always give the best advice.

01:33This should be real interesting.
